Schools Shouldn't Give Jobs Like 'office Runner' To Kids
At my school they make all kids do a thing called 'office runner' were a kid goes round the school for a day collecting registers and sending noes. Surely that's what the secretaries are for, i mean we have about 10. Kids are in school to learn, not to do their dirty work.

Andrea, this is perfectly acceptable in schools as it allows for an adult to be constantly in the office, and it gives the children a sense of responsibility. It allows kids o mature in a responsible way and experience the way office work may be like. It is all in preperation for adult life.

In my high school we have TAs which are teachers assistants that run around taking messages to teachers and helping the office out. I feel that it is a good part of our school. That way there is always a person in charge in the office. In life we as teens will be used as run arounds when getting our first jobs ect. So this teaches students how to do things that isn't always fun.
